But difficult doesn’t mean impossible, and out of the bajillions of things in this universe that you can’t control, what you can control is how hard you try, and if or when to pack it in.
Keep reminding yourself over and over that this is what you want, and you’ll soon find that the more you know what you want, the less you’re willing to put up with what you don’t.
Entrepreneurial people are passionate about what they do, comfortable with taking risks, and quick at moving on from failures.

When your goal is to gain experience, perspective, and knowledge, failure is no longer a possibility.
You combine hard work, creativity, and self-determination, and things start to happen.
You create the world, blink by blink. It is entirely yours to discover and yours to create.
Clothing is ultimately the suit of armor in which we battle the world.
One of the best things about life – a reason not to go blindly after one goal and one goal only – is that sometimes it will take you to something that is way cooler than anything you would have consciously set out to do in the first place.
